@@richreed9927 The stage is full of electronic equipment designed to enhance the vocal and instrumental sound, but dmbfcks can't suppress their impulse to parrot the stupidities about auto-tune etc. from each other on almost any music video. The hilariousness of it is that each and every one of them believe that what they're saying is some kind of original piece of wisdom.
today 4-21-24 is my 70th bday a cold rainy day here in Greensboro NC to continue mourning the passing of Dickey Betts 3 days ago.... i was 17yo when i saw the original lineup 7-31-1971in a carved out of a cornfield venue in North Baltimore OH just a couple weeks after release of Fillmore East.... so "when i think about the old days" it becomes very sad... DB you done good here on Earth and your 80 years here were a true blessing to your loving fans....
Buckey, 68 myself, North Georgia boy ... some deep sighs and a lot of nostalgia playing through 54 years of ABB.. even here with Johnny Carson, Greg, Warren, Dickey, and all were spot on beautiful... I was out of the country a lot during the Toler and Boyer years, didn't catch a lot of that era, but up through mid 70's and 90's on I respected all their line-ups .. never again anything like these guys, and close to home and heart.
Was honored to open up for Dickie Betts. The stage was packed tight with his bands gear. His band graciously told us to use their amps and drums so we would have room to play . Then his band mates treated my band mates to drinks after the show. What a great night
@derekmoss7286 - Folks who don’t think different genres of music can’t blend together is a generalization. Rock musicians for example have been blending styles since day one. Off the top of my head: Clapton doing I Shot Tne Sheriff…Steely Dan…The Police…Red Hot Chii Peppers…Rage Against The Machine…
Great thing about the whole ABB run, they always shared the stages with so many great artist. Artists considered it a great honor to perform with one of the best damn bands on the planet.
there is a song "great minds drink alike" they added a horn section after the fact and as you say even more amazing, that song came to my mind as i read your comment
@michaelwills1926 OK, Junior. You don't have to educate me about "blue eyed soul." Referring to men as "boys" is never appropriate. Unfortunately, African Americans, of all people, refer to grown men as "white boys," yet would be highly offended if someone responded with, "I think that's also true with black boys."
This jam session should be in the Smithsonian institution in the music section. What a collaboration of different types and styles of musicians getting together to create something so beautiful. This is just priceless. I miss these days of the Carson show, I was a young buck then without a care in the world. Great video,thank you.
Exactly! They're in the dictionary next to the word "Badass"! It doesn't get any better. Dickey,Gregg RIP,Warren, and all the rest of ABB, and Doc's band is awesome too. Today's music doesn't hold a candle to this. These are professional musicians at the height of their craft. Pure geniuses right here.🎸🎶
Yes this sound mixing/ reinforcement and engineering is impeccable… those NBC technicians were great! The band sounds amazing …. Dickie and Warren were so tight in that lead break, then that harp behind the last verse… we tong see live music on television like that anymore… Oh baby, when the brass came in … what treat! Warren on slide and Doc Severinsen on trumpet… this is real music!
@williamlenihan7536 - Carson w the best host for music? Sounds like you get watched any Dick Cavett interviews? th-cam.com/video/-30OfVjHw98/w-d-xo.html
AMAZING!!! Dickey, Warren and Gregg’s killer voice!!! Followed up with Doc the Tonight Show band!?!? Are you kidding me!!! Absolute CLASSIC!!!! Great players!!
Not country in the slightest. They were referred to as “Southern Rock” but Gregg always said that they were nothing but a blues band that happened to be from the South. But not a hint of country in there, BTW. Some Jazz, sure.
The Brothers were the greatest show band in the history of R&R, imho, and Gregg Allman was the best white blues singer I ever heard. RIP Duane, Berry, Gregg, and Butch. You'll never be forgotten by those who saw and heard you.
You know you're talking rock royalty when Doc comes to Johnny and says, "hey, we gotta jam with these guys." The result is a win for every viewer of any age, any musical genre.
It is stunning how young Mr. Warren Haynes looks in this video. Seen him live many times, but not back this far, great collaboration with Doc Severnson and the Tonight Show Band. Lots of fun. RIP Gregg Allman, Allen Woody and Butch Trucks.
I saw the Allmans on this tour......EPIC!!! I consider myself extremely blessed to have had the chance to see the Allman Brothers live. They will go down in music history as one of the original badass bands that introduced us all to, not only, southern rock and blues, but ultimately to the concept of "jamming". Every jam band owes a big "thanks" to the Allman Brothers.
Was going through a separation, heartbroken. Our salesman knew my 14yr old son was playing guitar. He said here's 2 tickets for you and your son . Meet me there. Front row center. Incredible concert.
What brilliance? My understanding is that he shared lead guitar with Betts, and Gregg and Betts were the singer-songwriters. So why did they even need Duane?
I am floored!!! Peel me up off my rug someone. If history is bound to repeat itself, how long do I have to wait for an occasion like this to come even close to a revelation? Today's music rots!!! Long Live Rock!
Give Warren Haynes credit too. He was a perfect fit to play with Dicky and provided a great deal of leadership that resulted in bringing Derek along. Thus, an extra two-plus decades of success. Don't believe it would have happened with anyone else but Haynes. Good stuff. Thanks for posting performances.
The Haynes/Betts duo is honestly one of the greatest in music history. Duane was a brilliant guitarist and had so much left to give the world musically, but died way too young. Warren Haynes is a brilliant guitarist in his own right and fit the Allman's style perfectly.
Gregg and his peeps were in Raleigh, NC years ago for a show. My youngest brother lived there and was a limo driver. Gregg and entourage were his fare for the night. Gregg wanted THE BEST Italian food in the whole city. My brother knew just where to go. When they got there, bro got out to open the door for them and started to get back in the car. Gregg insisted that he come in and have dinner with them. Pretty cool of him to ask his driver to join them.
Dickeys' sound was so wonderful. The tone was warm and bold at the same time. If you only heard one note, you knew it was him playing. That is the mark of a true guitar god, to have your own sound. His death was a gutpunch to so many of us, but we are blessed to have seen him and hear him play and we can always visit him by putting on his records.
I remember watching this the night it aired and being amazed...first, that the Allmans were on Carson, and that Doc Severinsen got up and jammed with them!
Saw this when it aired back in 90-91 oh man this is sooooo friggin good!!! It's sad that a lot of these great musicians are gone. Doc, Warren and Jaimoe are still here. Getting old sucks.
This appearance on the Tonight Show is a great example of "buried" treasure!!! Great performances not yet discovered!! Should have no less than a half million hits here on YOU TUBE...
Lynn claughton awful it sounds like absolute shit. I heard dicky wanted to play with Lawrence welk and guy Lombardo. This is absolute shit. You need to change your post
The producer of show was angry at dicky for fucking up the green room with beer and trash Johnny Carson’s son booked the allman brothers despite Johnny’s request he didn’t Sadly his son died a year later when he dropped acid and drove off a car off a cliff while taking pictures. Allen woody fell asleep in a heroin daze while rehearsing sadly
You could see Mr. Carson loved the jam session and was proud of his boys keeping pace. That was the first time I’d seen horns with the AB’s, pretty tasty
One of the most UNDERRATED bands ever!!! Not the Allmans!!! Their greatness is solidified in music history. I'm talking Doc Severanson, Eddie Shaunessy and the Tonight Show Band!!!
The Allmans were never underrated. Everyone knew they were phenomenal and one of a kind. They set a musical precedent that can't be duplicated. There's always one comment about some musician being underrated in every post. 🙄
My comment, if you read it correctly, was implying The Tonight Show Band IS the underrated band... There's always one comment replying to something they misread.
Unbelievable band!!! I saw these guys 5 times. I totally agree with witch doctor. You will never see this talent again. The music being played out there is not talent!!! Rest in peace to all the members who have passed
Holy Crap. I can’t believe I missed this performance. I also saw the Allman Brothers in Ohio in 71. Never paid much to attention to Doc S but incredible how this performance brought out the best in him. Amazing diversity and talent in Allman Bros. I’m floored and fall more in love them every time I hear their music. Life goes by so fast-stay in gratitude and appreciate every moment as it happens ❣️
To all modern musicians on the radio, this is what talent looks like, i know you've never seen it before so take some notes though you may not know where to start. The last big band orchestra playing with arguably the best rock band. Priceless artistic talent never to be duplicated again. RIP to all, hope to here you guys again on the other side.
I saw the band in Central Park in NYC in 71. Duane had fun reverbing his sound off of the skyscrapers. I’ll never forget his smile. Perfect weather and an indelible memory
unbelievable to get all the horns in there....goes to show what a genius songwriter Dickey was....jazz!!!!!!!! I'll bet Doc Severinson was seriously stoked to play along
This was true late night entertainment. A comedic legend, one of the greatest rock bands in history along with the fabulous Tonight Show Orchestra. The current crop of late night "entertainers" are absolute crap compared to this . .
Many thanks to Johnny for featuring elite musicians playing the best live music ever; and very nice to see the group when they looked much younger and healthier. Awesome trumpet solo in the last song Doc!
Absolutely killin' it! I challenge anyone to name a group that played with more power, precision, and skill. RIP, Gregory. I never knew you but I always felt you were my brother.
That was a treat to watch, Seven Turns is a great album! Dickey beautiful notes on his Gold top. Warren on slide, Gregg looking healthy, happy. All where enjoying, their music. O yeah Doc is a funky cat, on the Horn.
I clearly remember those times from the early 1990s. I thought how the guys still sounded so good, including Gregg's voice. I also remember thinking "someday, THESE will be the good old days". And here we are.
Been an Allmans fan forever but I just can't believe how great they sounded here. As a musician myself, I know you have some good nights and bad nights....this must have been a great night for the Allman Brother Band.- and what a rare treat hearing them with Doc and the boys! And what a treat for Doc, I would bet he does not have a lot of chances to cut loose like this.
Doesn't get any better Johnny and the Allman Brothers! Greg in his prime: Long, cool drink of water and simply a bad ass out-law with the voice of a blues god!!
I5 musicians at least when Doc's group joins the band for a live jam. What a treat! I'm glad the Tedeschi Trucks Band carries on this high level live performances.
Good music. The band is showing its jazz roots what with the instrumental songs, tempo changes, key changes, and even a little counterpoint. It's like listening to real music. All that's missing is a walk-on from drummer Butch Trucks nephew. And Warren Hayne's & Dicky Bett's Kind Of Bird is just outta sight! richard --
Warren and Dickey together were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to the magnificence of Duane and Dickey together. Gah, what an incredible group, augmented by Doc and his guys. Musical Valhalla.............
They don't usually show musical numbers on the Carson reruns, maybe because of royalties and permission, not sure, I think I saw one or two at the most, they always just show the interview with the musical guest after their performance, so enjoy this rare performance. Great having Tommy Newsome and Doc jamming with the Allman Brothers Band
Every member of the Tonight Show band was an A list jazz musician in his own right. The Allman Brothers went toe to toe with them and the mutual respect was obvious. I would have loved to hear the after show jam sessions after these shows.
So cool seeing Doc Severson again. The man would hit these notes possibly above high C, and his eyeballs would look like they were ready to pop! This showing is a first for me, and I almost never missed Carson.
This video is a classic performance in Rock 'n Roll history. Love the collaboration between the two bands with totally different musical styles, different genres, and different generations. Thank you Allman Brothers for taking a chance and surprising even the most diehard of fan. This shows the unifying power of music. All great musicians were present in the performance and we can all learn from this whatever walk of life we may come from.
The best music you'll ever hear. Ultra good musicians playing really well for and with each other. Jazz, blues and rock, 100% original American music. Fusion.
Don't be sad that the good old days are gone... Be glad that you got to live in them..
I am glad for your comment...because I do often get sad about the past being gone. Your words reminded me of lyrics to an Eagles song.....If I never see the good old days shining' in the sun
I'll be doing' fine and then some
Thanks for this comment.
Problem with the good old days is that they are past
Great reminder, just finished a book about the ABB, such incredible talent and the price they paid!
I am glad to have lived them and really glad that I can put my headphones on and watch this very loud any time I want to.
No auto tune,samples,computers or backing tapes .Real music from one of Americas best bands ever
Two. Two of America's best bands ever.

Dickey Betts on guitar wasn't bad either!!
My God as well.He quit drugs to live, to sing again.. and we're all God-blessed for it! 😎

@@johnstevenson1062
But it certainly helps.
Warren Haynes and Allen Woody gave the Allman Bros. the boost they needed for a comeback...
Absolutely!
They sure did! I saw them around '93 then got into Gov't Mule. Both bands were insanely great back then. The Allmans kind of lost it without Dickey.
Was honored to open up for Dickie Betts. The stage was packed tight with his bands gear. His band graciously told us to use their amps and drums so we would have room to play . Then his band mates treated my band mates to drinks after the show. What a great night
Thank you !!!
Just when you think you’ve seen it all…this pops up in your feed and your day, week, month, year is completely better for having watched this!!
I saw this in 1990 when it was on, enjoy it while you can because this level of talent and musicianship wont ever happen again.
I never say this, but...."true dat!"
Tu m'étonnes mon pote.. incroyable Allman brothers band!
Well, then there were Derek and Warren's renditions .
I have to disagree…there’s some good musicians out there that’s picked up where they left off and warren Haynes is still kickin it.
You got that right Seen them 6 times Nobody today comes close
Hey kids, this is MUSIC. Real musicians, real talent. Off the charts stuff here.
For all the folks that think genres of music can't blend together...

Not a friggin chance in hell you will ever see anything this great on a late-night talk show now.
Well, that's because there aren't any more bands as good as the Alman Bros. 🎶

And because nobody's watchin' anymore anyway.

Rest in musical peace dickey Betts.
Miss you ❤.

@John-vp8tj great interview just released w/Rick Beato and Warren
Allen Woody on bass. Govt Mule beginnings!!!
When you can seamlessly add a horn section to your band and it sounds even more amazing, you're doing it right.
there is a song "great minds drink alike" they added a horn section after the fact and as you say even more amazing, that song came to my mind as i read your comment
I would love to have been at rehearsals for this.
You're spot on.
Miss ya Gregg.....greatest voice in white boy blues ever!
He had one of the great blues voices, period!
Would you ever use the phrase "black boy?"
@@bill9989that’s what it’s called. There’s also “blue eyed soul”

Give it a rest folks. And let's not forget Mose Allison who had an unmatchable white boy blues voice, as he would agree.
This jam session should be in the Smithsonian institution in the music section. What a collaboration of different types and styles of musicians getting together to create something so beautiful. This is just priceless. I miss these days of the Carson show, I was a young buck then without a care in the world. Great video,thank you.

@@janetmobilia8078 y'all know who co-wrote the tonight show theme? Paul Anka w/J Carson
@@RichardMcLamore really eh? That's awesome. Cheers
Warren and Dickey were at their peak working together when Kind of Bird was written. Epic with Doc and the horns!
Absolutely killin' it! I challenge anyone to name a group that played with more power, precision, and skill. RIP, Gregory. I never knew you but I always felt you were my brother.

Tower of Power, early Chicago, were powerhouse bands. Allman’s were great but for me, when Dickey got kicked out, the live shows suffered.
true, trucks bores me to tears. just saw him & Susan. I left after 5 songs. monumental boredom
Cool deal with Doc Severinson and his band members playing with the Brothers. .
Always a fan of the great Allman Brothers Band 🙏👌😊☮️❤️
Damn didn't realize Warren Haynes was with the band that long ago! A true American legend the Allman Brothers!!
That was a treat to watch, Seven Turns is a great album! Dickey beautiful notes on his Gold top. Warren on slide, Gregg looking healthy, happy. All where enjoying, their music. O yeah Doc is a funky cat, on the Horn.
Dickie was at the top of his game in the early 90s .
Augmentation indeed there, Doc! 👍👍
Working nights in my father's restaurant only thing on was abc night line and Carson miss those Days ❤
Perfection. Absolutely the best.
Wow, the horns sound great with them.
Fantastic stuff really really showing the jazz influence at the core of the Allman Brothers blues legacy
Any rock music containing quality brass is superb!
Love the horns
"The brass kicks ass!"

Wow! Absolute old school magic! 🤠
I clearly remember those times from the early 1990s. I thought how the guys still sounded so good, including Gregg's voice. I also remember thinking "someday, THESE will be the good old days".
And here we are.
Been an Allmans fan forever but I just can't believe how great they sounded here. As a musician myself, I know you have some good nights and bad nights....this must have been a great night for the Allman Brother Band.- and what a rare treat hearing them with Doc and the boys! And what a treat for Doc, I would bet he does not have a lot of chances to cut loose like this.
says a lot for the allman bros playing w one of the great horn sections great performance and great musicianship from both sides. spectacular !
Paul Bissonnette yup
I headed up to 11, Am I dual zone speakers rocking out
How have i missed this extraordinary video all these years?!!!!!!! Hilarious the Allmans playing with the suit and tie guys!!
Them Southern Boys were great, the best
WOW, so tight!!! Dickey was at his prime, 20 years after Duane's passing. Love their sound then and now. God Love rock and roll!!!
Doesn't get any better Johnny and the Allman Brothers! Greg in his prime: Long, cool drink of water and simply a bad ass out-law with the voice of a blues god!!
you nailed it!!! incredible voice and performance by all
gregg was one heck of a singer!
"Long cool drink of water"?? Lol
Perfect description !
@@fflubadubb not really. You have strange taste.
I5 musicians at least when Doc's group joins the band for a live jam. What a treat! I'm glad the Tedeschi Trucks Band carries on this high level live performances.
Good music. The band is showing its jazz roots what with the instrumental songs, tempo changes, key changes, and even a little counterpoint. It's like listening to real music. All that's missing is a walk-on from drummer Butch Trucks nephew. And Warren Hayne's & Dicky Bett's Kind Of Bird is just outta sight!

Warren and Dickey together were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to the magnificence of Duane and Dickey together. Gah, what an incredible group, augmented by Doc and his guys. Musical Valhalla.............
really miss duane. tremendous talent, lost at such a young age.
They don't usually show musical numbers on the Carson reruns, maybe because of royalties and permission, not sure, I think I saw one or two at the most, they always just show the interview with the musical guest after their performance, so enjoy this rare performance. Great having Tommy Newsome and Doc jamming with the Allman Brothers Band
Every member of the Tonight Show band was an A list jazz musician in his own right. The Allman Brothers went toe to toe with them and the mutual respect was obvious. I would have loved to hear the after show jam sessions after these shows.
The ABB and Doc with his band. Wow!
before & after show jams would be awesome to see. I am interested in Doc's reflection on these shows. sadly Tommy & Ed are no longer with us
@@bbb8997 Too bad we weren't in the studio audience that day.
100% brother
And sisters
The Allman Brothers were original, cool dudes. I am glad that I saw them twice in concert. Boy, could they jam.
So cool seeing Doc Severson again. The man would hit these notes possibly above high C, and his eyeballs would look like they were ready to pop! This showing is a first for me, and I almost never missed Carson.
I'm glad I got to see them live on several occasions in the 70's. There's nobody better!!!!
Real musical talent. Gregg sounds great. Johnny really enjoyed them. Doc Severinsen is an amazing trumpeter.
That was kickass!!!!!
This video is a classic performance in Rock 'n Roll history. Love the collaboration between the two bands with totally different musical styles, different genres, and different generations. Thank you Allman Brothers for taking a chance and surprising even the most diehard of fan. This shows the unifying power of music. All great musicians were present in the performance and we can all learn from this whatever walk of life we may come from.
I cannot even begin to describe to you how deeply mesmerized I am by what these guys can (could) do. An awesome memory.
Holy cow. What a power field of musical talent. Mind blowing!
EVERY TIME I hear the opening of "Good Time Thing", EVERY TIME....that is enough to get my heart started.
Wow! Music was music back then, what talent!
SO WELL rehearsed!
They understood the absolute absolution of performing on Carson!
The greatest American band ever
By far! 🙌
Except for the grateful dead
Where's the WOW button when you need it? This is GREAT!
I’m Jeff Marder and I approve this post! I was on this show along with Don Rickles. Thanks for time capsule. ❤🎤🎤
The best music you'll ever hear. Ultra good musicians
playing really well for and with each other.
Jazz, blues and rock, 100% original
American music. Fusion.
Gregg sounds great here..and
.. the band so tight..thank you
